Sunrise Stained Glass Studio

Stained glass window artists achieving high standards of design and craftsmanship.

conserving stained glass
The studio aims to maintain the highest standards in stained glass restoration and conservation.

The conservation of historic glass means that as much of the original glass, lead, ferramenta and surrounding masonry is retained, encompassing the principles of minimum intervention, full recording (before and after) and the use of reversible techniques.
Work often involves the protection of valuable historic stained glass windows by custom made wire mesh window guards or polycarbonate glazing.
St Georges, Hanover Square
The main east window at St Georges was originally made by Arnoult de Nijmegen (c.1470-1540) for a Carmelite church in Antwerp (its' companion is in Lichfield church).

The studio carried out the careful cleaning and conservation of this historic glass.

Primarily it is a tree of Jesse with medallions of St George, Victory, and Isabella of Portugal (the latter at the head of Jesse's throne). To the left are Aaron and Esias, to the right Moses and Eli, above and to the left of the Virgin Mary are Josephat with Osias, and Manesseh and Jechonias to his right; other figures include David, Roboan, Solomon and Joram.
